Does anyone have a polka show in Detroit?
Re: Does anyone have a polka show in Detroit?
WMIC covers much of South West Ontario. As far east as London and as far north as the Bruce Peninsula.
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

The reception map is useful, as attempts to hear WMIC via the internet gives WBGV-FM's broadcast.

Decent reception away from the water is tough to come by if one is trying to listen more than 5 or 10 miles outside the red contour.
I used to be able to get a barely passable daytime signal from 660 in the car when I lived in Warren. Now that I'm about eight miles farther west, the signal is simply too faint.

London ON is about 40 miles inland and somewhere around the purple line. I can't get it inside the city due to man made RF interference. But outside the city I get decent reception in the car. Last summer we were at Port Elgin, ON on Lake Huron, about mid-way between the purple and blue lines. I was getting excellent reception on a Grundig portable.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 4:36 pmDecent reception away from the water is tough to come by if one is trying to listen more than 5 or 10 miles outside the red contour.

Doubt an FM stick made it to London Ontario. I'd bet on one of the AM's. WKNX was 10,000 directional pointed toward the thumb, that may have hit London. They did have to sign off at sundown because of a 50 thousand clear channel out of PA though.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
Re: Does anyone have a polka show in Detroit?
That jogs my memory. I believe it may have been WKNX. Back in those days I wasn't yet living in London. I was still up north in Bruce County, on Lake Huron.
The reason I remember WKNX is because, up in that area we had CKNX.

Re: Does anyone have a polka show in Detroit?
Makes perfect sense. Bruce County, Ontario was pretty much a straight line of WKNX's directional signal with nothing but water in the way.Turkeytop wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 10:26 pmThat jogs my memory.

Re: Does anyone have a polka show in Detroit?
Back in those days, I hadn't once even visited London. It wasn't even on my radar that I would some day I might be living there.

Re: Does anyone have a polka show in Detroit?
Wyandotte Connex channel 15 still runs an old polka show a couple times a day. Newest episodes of that show appear to be from about 2005.
My furthest DTV tropo: KDKA Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 202 miles for three days in January 2017 and a night in September 2017 with only an Antennas Direct C2V!
Current setup: Antennas Direct C2Max (2018-present)

Re: Does anyone have a polka show in Detroit?
Before I retired I spent a lot of time on the road between Windsor ON and London ON. There was an AM station from somewhere in Ohio that had on a Polka program every afternoon on weekdays.

Hey. There's an online stream called "Goodtime Radio WRQJ" from Appleton, WI which plays polka music 24/7. Then there's a station (over the air) known as WOES "The Polka Palace" from Ovid-Elsie High School that plays polka music in mid-Michigan. Both of these are available on TuneIn.

Of course, neither of these are accessible from a radio in the Detroit Area.
